Write a Haiku for Earth Day

According to history, the first "Earth Day" celebration worldwide was on April 22nd, 1970 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The purpose is to bring awareness to the population of the responsibility for each of us to share in the protection of the Earth and its resources.

However, What can we do to protect our planet?

First,we can start by practicing the Three Rs: Reuse, Recycle, Reduce and avoid plastic consumption.  Many supermarkets are collaborating with the use of paper or fabric bags and we too must collaborate on that great effort. 

Second,  try to compost using kitchen scraps from fruits, vegetables and egg shells. After a week of collecting organic waste, covering with soil, and watering, you are ready to wait for the final results.

Third, create conscience by writing Haiku poems. This Japanese poetry style for nature will inmerse you in the love for our planet Earth. In honor of our planet, I invite you to write a Haiku to remember the beauty of our "Common Home."[1]
